It's quite simply THE biggest game in Brazil. The whole of Rio de Janeiro will come to a stop and 90,000+ people will descend on the Estádio do Maracanã for what is quite simply known as Fla-Flu. 97 years after their first meeting the game on Sunday will be the 369th meeting between the bitterest of rivals and it's Flamengo who hold a 14 game lead over Fluminense with 132 wins to 118 with the other games drawn. Flamengo won the last meeting 1-0 in April during the Campeonato Carioca. Only one point seperates the teams at the moment but there are 5 places between the teams in the table.
